Abstract

We describe the use of microlenses as amplification for CCD-based detection
devices. The possible amplification of a signal in a reaction chamber of a
nanoplate is estimated with a first-order approximation. This value was proved
with a commercially available microlens and with a specially constructed
microlens array made of glass hemispheres. Possible applications of this
approach to amplification are given.
